I went to at least one game for 25 straight years, although not the last 3. If the Chiefs change their name, I won't buy merchandise or go to another game. Hell, I might not even watch them on TV anymore.

Trust me I understand what your saying.
I will be so pissed if it comes down to our team needing a name change.
I've been a Die hard fan since 1980.
It would be Extremely hard to swallow that pill.


Unfortunately for Redskin fans their team origins/ previous owners/name/logo are all riddled with racism.

The old MLB Indians logo also comes to mind..hard to fight against that change.

Sometimes its the right thing sometimes its too far.

We all have different views & feelings where the line is.

I feel as though the Chiefs name is going to be considered ok.
The Arrowhead logo is respectful.
I just wish we could somehow drop the whole Chiefs "Kingdom" crap
There must be someone who is offended by the word Kingdom
:)

Washington Redskins

I think all sports fans and most everybody else will get a kick out of this letter written to the Chicago Tribune. No matter which side you are on in the matter of renaming the Washington Redskins, this is funny. This guy is hilarious...This is an e-mail sent to Clarence Page of the Chicago Tribune after an article he published concerning a name change for the Washington Redskins.

Dear Mr. Page: I agree with our Native American population. I am highly jilted by the racially charged name of the Washington Redskins. One might argue that to name a professional football team after Native Americans would exalt them as fine warriors, but nay, nay. We must be careful not to offend, and in the spirit of political correctness and courtesy, we must move forward.
Let's ditch the Kansas City Chiefs, the Atlanta Braves and the Cleveland Indians.
If your shorts are in a wad because of the reference the name Redskins makes to skin color, then we need to get rid of the Cleveland Browns.
The Carolina Panthers obviously were named to keep the memory of militant Blacks from the 60's alive. Gone. It's offensive to us white folk.
The New York Yankees offend the Southern population. Do you see a team named for the Confederacy? No! There is no room for any reference to that tragic war that cost this country so many young men's lives.
I am also offended by the blatant references to the Catholic religion among our sports team names. Totally inappropriate to have the New Orleans Saints, the Los Angeles Angels or the San Diego Padres.
Then there are the team names that glorify criminals who raped and pillaged. We are talking about the horrible Oakland Raiders, the Minnesota Vikings, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and the Pittsburgh Pirates!
Now, let us address those teams that clearly send the wrong message to our children. The San Diego Chargers promote irresponsible fighting or even spending habits. Wrong message to our children.
The New York Giants and the San Francisco Giants promote obesity, a growing childhood epidemic. Wrong message to our children.
The Cincinnati Reds promote downers/barbiturates. Wrong message to our children.
The Milwaukee Brewers Well that goes without saying. Wrong message to our children.
So, there you go. We need to support any legislation that comes out to rectify this travesty, because the government will likely become involved with this issue, as they should. Just the kind of thing the do-nothing Congress loves.
As a die-hard Oregon State fan, my wife and I, with all of this in mind, suggest it might also make some sense to change the name of the Oregon State women's athletic teams to something other than "the Beavers (especially when they play Southern California. Do we really want the Trojans sticking it to the Beavers???

I think they should swing towards something white/European. They tend not to get offended.
Generals seems like a cool name. Maybe, something referencing the revolutionary war or something of that era.

I had earlier thought about suggesting the Washington Sun Burns, but I was afraid it would be to white.

When I get a sun burn. My skin turns red. We’re trying to work away from that. Get with the program.

I think they should think about their most famous feature and go with the Washington Mall-ers.

No, Redskins was never racist because it referred to poor northern Europeans who had been in the sun too long.

Sir, if you would please get with the program.

So, have the native American's legacy been scrubbed yet?

All the conspiracy videos on the internet are saying Alex Smith is going to defeat Mahomes in SB 57.
